I have one lady with whom I use a credit card all the time. Way more convenient, and she's never given me any problem, but I've known her a while. A couple of cautions (I work in the credit biz): Don't give your card to someone you don't know. Don't let them write down the CVV number (a 3-digit number on the back in the sig panel). They may want to charge you for their discount rate (usually 3% to 5%). You can argue this, but I usually just pay it.

Finally, and most importantly, before you use your card, find out how the charge will appear on your bill, particularly if someone else is on the account or opens your mail.

Cheers!

I have a funny story regarding this subject....My wife and I see providers together. One night my wife got girl horny but we had no cash on us and we dont keep ATM cards. So we called one of our ATF's that took credit cards without thinking. A few days later we realized that our secretary always opened our credit card bills to pay them for us and she always checked for mistakes on the itemized statements. I said no problem, I will just beat her to the mail box and intercept it. Well as you can guess, it didn't happen. The bill came on the one day I was out of the office. The following day I came in and she said we needed to talk, she slammed the bill on my desk and asked what the fuck was up with the $500 charge for "*** ***** massage?" OOOOPS! She knew what it was for and assumed I was cheating on my wife, who she is very close friends with. Seems I had some splaining to do...lol. Refusing to let her think I would cheat on my wife, it was time to come clean! I told her the whole story of our secret life. You should have seen the look of relief on her face. She was very supportive and even said she wished her and her husband could be so open. Now we share all of our experiences with her. On mondays she always asks how was our weekend with a little grin on her face.
